One night stand

I reckon the government’s feelings about the Mohamed Haneef case must be something like the aftermath of a regrettable one night stand.

Having got a boner over the excitement of having a real live international terrorist on their hands, they and the AFP took him home, and well and truly screwed him.  But now, in the cold hard light of day, they’ve found all is not as it seems, and in fact when the initial excitement died down, the whole case is just not as attractive as it seemed on first appearances … in fact its turned pigdog ugly.

Now they’re trying to figure out how to get rid of him, without being totally humiliated, having their mates find out, and without giving him their phone number.  All they want is for him to go away, and disappear out of their lives.  I suspect they will do this by deporting him, hoping he never tracks them down and come back to haunt them.
